Morphology

resubmit = submit (transparent) = re + submit

The prefix 're-' has its regular meaning 'again', so 'resubmit' is straightforwardly interpreted as 'submit again'.

Etymology

Resubmit is made of the prefix re- 'again' and submit, which comes from the same root as mission and means 'to send'. So to resubmit something is to 'send' it again, for example after you fix it or if it was rejected.
